A little sign of spring

This past Monday was the first day of spring and even though it was not warm, nor sunny, I just had to purchase some tulips in spring colors and chose these yellow and purple ones as the local QFC (Quality Food Centers) grocery store that had them as 3 bunches for $10, so bought 2 yellow bunches and a purple bunch before heading towards I-90 to come on home after work.

Got home and cut them to fit in this short old fashioned sized cobalt blue glass I’ve had and added some clear pebbles to it to help stabilize the flowers and then cut them short to fit and voila, done.

This was to bring a bit of spring inside my little home as Sunday, we had a mild taste of spring to come with the temps being actually warm IN the sun but not so much when in the shade, the total high for that day was 51F. It was enough to get out and do some weeding of my front flower beds for a little bit. It’s been way too wet to mow as yet even though my grass is getting quite shaggy of late and I’m itching to do as such, hopefully soon.

Meanwhile, made an unexpected purchase appliance wise for the kitchen last weekend, and will in a couple of weeks get rid of the crap I’ve accumulated, old OSB siding from the front porch, the old cabinet used as shelving, etc, along with the remains of the arborvitae trees I cut down in Sept will soon be going to the dump, once my buddy cleans out his garage and I’ve volunteered to help him with that as it’s really a two person job – at least.

In the mean time, I have some major updating to do here on the ol’ blog on what’s been going on here at Little Haus and soon hope to do just that.
